(4) use the lowest profile EVSE
reasonably available that provides the
necessary charging capacity;
(5) place the EVSE in a minimally
visibly intrusive area; and
(6) use colors complementary to
surrounding environment, where
possible.
Each federal agency remains
responsible for considering the effects of
components of its undertakings not
subject to this exemption on historic
properties, in accordance with subpart B
of the Section 106 regulations or
according to an applicable program
alternative pursuant to 36 CFR 800.14.
II. Application on Tribal Lands
This exemption shall not apply on
Tribal Lands, or to activities that may
affect historic properties located on
Tribal Lands, unless the Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer, Tribe, or a
designated representative of the Tribe
has provided prior written notification
to the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation (ACHP) that it agrees with
the use of the exemption on its lands.
Indian Tribes can agree to such use of
the exemption by completing the
attached form (Attachment A) and
submitting the completed form to the
ACHP. The exemption would then be
applicable on those Tribal Lands when
the ACHP provides notice on its website
of such agreement.

III. Recommendation Outside Tribal
Lands
While the ACHP does not expect that
activities carried out consistent with
this exemption will affect historic
properties of religious and cultural
significance to Indian tribes or Native
Hawaiian organizations (NHOs), the
ACHP notes that such historic
properties have not been consistently
identified during prior documentation
efforts. The ACHP advises that, where
the installation of EVSE may occur in a
location on or near an existing
archaeological site, feature, or district,
or any other property with known
potential significance to Indian Tribes
or NHOs, the agency should coordinate
with interested Indian Tribes or NHOs
to determine whether they ascribe
significance to the site or property.
Should a Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization ascribe significance to the
site area, the agency should undertake a
Section 106 review in accordance with
subpart B of the Section 106 regulations
or according to an applicable program
alternative pursuant to 36 CFR 800.14.

invalidate, or otherwise modify Section
106 agreements in existence at the time
this exemption goes into effect. This
exemption does not modify, preempt, or
replace any applicable state or local
laws or regulations.
V. Termination
The ACHP may terminate this
exemption in accordance with 36 CFR
800.14(c)(7) if it determines that the
purposes of Section 106 are not
adequately met.
VI. Amendments
This exemption may be amended by
the ACHP membership. Such
amendments must be consistent with
the criteria at 36 CFR 800.14(c)(1) and
preceded by consultation appropriate to
the scope of the amendments.
VII. Definitions
The following definitions shall apply
to this exemption:
a. ‘‘Agency’’ means an agency as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 551, and includes
state, local, or tribal government
officials who have been delegated legal
responsibility for compliance with
Section 106 in accordance with federal
law.
b. ‘‘Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment’’ (EVSE) means conductors,
including the ungrounded, grounded,
and equipment grounding conductors
and the electric vehicle connectors,
attachment plugs, and all other fittings,
devices, power outlets, or apparatus
installed specifically for the purpose of
delivering energy from the premises
wiring to the EV. There are three levels
of EVSE:
i. Level 1—Refers to a freestanding or
wall mounted charging structure that
delivers a 110/120V charge,
replenishing an EV battery at a rate of
4 to 6 miles of range per hour of
charging time. Charging an EV at level
1 typically takes between 7 and 20
hours depending on the size of the
vehicle’s battery.
ii. Level 2—Refers to a freestanding or
wall mounted charging structure that
delivers a 208/240V charge,
replenishing an EV battery at a rate of
10 to 20 miles of range per hour of
charging time. Charging an EV at level
2 typically takes between 2 and 5 hours
depending on the size of the vehicle’s
battery.

Discussion
CRADAs are authorized under 15
U.S.C. 3710(a).1 A CRADA promotes the
transfer of technology to the private
sector for commercial use, as well as
specified research or development
efforts that are consistent with the
mission of the Federal parties to the
CRADA. The Federal party or parties
agree with one or more non-Federal
parties to share research resources, but
the Federal party does not contribute
funding.
CRADAs are not procurement
contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the
contracting process. CRADAs have a
specific purpose and should not be
confused with procurement contracts,
grants, and other type of agreements.
Under the proposed CRADA, the
Coast Guard’s Research and
Development Center (R&DC) will
collaborate with one or more nonFederal participants. Together, the
R&DC and the non-Federal participants
will evaluate autonomous detection and
tracking systems to determine their
potential for search and rescue planning
that may greatly increase mission
performance on select USCG platforms
1 The statute confers this authority on the head of
each Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS’s
authority is delegated to the Coast Guard and other
DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation

and improve Maritime Domain
Awareness(MDA) capability.
We anticipate that the Coast Guard’s
contributions under the proposed
CRADA will include the following:
(1) In conjunction with the nonFederal participant(s), develop the
demonstration test plan to be executed
under the CRADA;
(2) Provide video output from various
Coast Guard sensors to test and integrate
with non-Federal participant(s)
autonomous detection systems;
(3) Provide access to and coordinate
the use of necessary Coast Guard
facilities, surface assets, and R&D Center
equipment to facilitate assessments.
Responsible for ensuring that all
necessary approvals have been obtained
before the execution of the test plan;
(4) Provide discussions on sound
search planning theory to help identify
ways of collecting quantitative measures
to better define the effectiveness of AI
technology compared to current SAR
efficiency calculations;
(5) Collaboratively collect and analyze
demonstration test plan data; and
(6) Collaboratively develop a
summary documenting the
methodologies, findings, conclusions,
and recommendations of this CRADA
work.
We anticipate that the non-Federal
participants’ contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the
following:
(1) Provide the autonomous detection
and tracking system and all other
equipment to conduct the
demonstration described in the
demonstration test plan;
(2) Provide engineering support,
including all required operators and
technicians to conduct the
demonstration;
(3) Provide shipment and delivery of
all autonomous detection and tracking
system equipment required for the
demonstration; and
(4) Provide travel and associated
personnel and other expenses as
required.
(5) Assist with compiling the results
of the demonstration(s) with R&D Center
that documents the methodologies,
findings, conclusions, and
recommendations under this CRADA.
The Coast Guard reserves the right to
select for CRADA participants all, some,
or no proposals submitted for this
CRADA. The Coast Guard will provide
no funding for reimbursement of
proposal development costs. Proposals
and any other material submitted in
response to this notice will not be
returned. Proposals submitted are
expected to be unclassified and have no
more than five single-sided pages

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2022 / Notices
(excluding cover page, DD 1494, JF–12,
etc.). The Coast Guard will select
proposals at its sole discretion on the
basis of:
(1) How well they communicate an
understanding of, and ability to meet,
the proposed CRADA’s goal; and
(2) How well they address the
following criteria:
(a) Technical capability to support the
non-Federal party contributions
described; and
(b) Resources available for supporting
the non-Federal party contributions
described.
Currently, the Coast Guard is
considering Zelim for participation in
this CRADA, because they have a
solution in place for providing an AI
casualty detection system that can be
used on multiple platforms using Coast
Guard optical sensors. However, we do
not wish to exclude other viable
participants from this or future similar
CRADAs.
This is a technology demonstration
effort to evaluate and assess how AI
detection can be utilized with Coast
guard optical sensors. The goal of this
CRADA is to identify and determine
methods of checking effectiveness of AI
systems compared to current accepted
Search and Rescue standards and
determine their potential use in a
maritime environment by the first
responder and the DHS operational
components. Special consideration will
be given to small business firms/
consortia, and preference will be given
to business units located in the U.S.

Excess
Federal real property is defined as
property that is no longer mission
critical to the needs of the Federal
Government. The conveyance and
disposal of excess real property is
governed by the Federal Property and
Administrative Services Act of 1949
(Property Act) as amended, 40 U.S.C.
541, et seq., 40 U.S.C. 553, and
applicable regulations (41 CFR parts
102–75.750 through 102.75.815). Under
the sponsorship of FEMA, the Property
Act gives the Administrator of the
General Services Administration (GSA)
authority to convey Federal real and
related surplus property (without
monetary consideration) to units of state
and local government for emergency
management response purposes,
including fire rescue services. The scope
and philosophy of GSA’s real property
policies are contained in 41 CFR part
102–71.
The purpose of this application is to
